KYOCERA has collaborated with three technology developers on an innovative solution to improve safety in schools, government buildings and other public spaces. The school safety solution combines ultra-rugged mobile technology (Android smartphones and tablets) from Kyocera; Omni-Response 360deg sensory technology for optimal situational awareness with a comprehensive dashboard; ZeroEyesTM AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software; and Cradlepoint networks that connect sites, vehicles, IoT technology and safety personnel. This new combined solution was demonstrated earlier this month in Tomball, Texas by the Harris County constinct One Office for law enforcement agencies and school districts.

The safety solution's mobile hardware includes Kyocera's ultra-rugged 5G smartphones and DuraSlate rugged Wi-Fi tablets. Smartphones are mounted with a custom adapter on MOLLE vests worn by safety/police officers that show live emergency activities as captured by the Omni-Response Dashboard. During the demonstration, Kyocera DuraSlate rugged tablets were mounted throughout the campus to capture live video.

The smartphones send an alert when other systems detect a threat on campus or within a building, saving critical time in emergencies. Groundbreaking 360deg technology from Omni-Response transforms high-risk event response by removing human limitations and enabling comprehensive real-time emergency preparedness. The Omni-Response integrated solution delivers unparalleled situational awareness and real-time response capabilities, leveraging Omni-Response's patented AI for instant gunshot detection, GPS-enabled mapping of shooter location, one-touch alerts to onsite staff and first responders, door lock/unlock capabilities, live video streams from cameras, personnel, drones and robotics.

The Omni-Response "on-the-move" platform simplifies emergency protocols, accelerates critical threat interventions, and provides a fully integrated view reducing chaos and casualties.
